In this online session on Networks: communication and connections, you will have dived into essential GCSE concepts to deepen your understanding of how devices communicate and connect. By attending, you will have:

• Explored packet switching and learned how data is transmitted across networks in small chunks called packets, using efficient routing techniques to reach their destination.
• Discovered how IP addresses and MAC addresses work together to manage communication and understood the key differences between them.
• Uncovered the role of DNS and URLs in connecting to websites, including how URLs are structured for seamless navigation.
• Gained insight into network protocols and their organisation into layers. Learned the purpose of protocols such as HTTP, FTP, and TCP/IP, and their role in reliable communication.
• Understood the differences between the Internet and the World Wide Web and explored how the internet operates using high-speed infrastructure to connect systems globally.
